Bean Lim's civic mindedness first came to light after Malaysiakini spotted him **picking up rubbish from the streets** yesterday during the Bersih 4 rally.
2. Volunteers from places of worship
Understanding the need for Bersih 4 rallygoers to have a pit-stop in their march for a better Malaysia, three churches in Kuala Lumpur opened their doors to offer shelter for the people.
**St. John's Cathedral in Bukit Nenas** along with the **Buddhist Association Ti Ratana Penchala Community Centre** offered an endless supply of **water and buns** for hungry rallygoers while **Our Lady Fatima** was the gathering point for many earlier today.
3. Toilet Man
His thoughtfulness is apparent as he holds the placard that says, **"Ask me for toilet**" under the LRT track at Jalan Tun Perak, directing people **looking for washrooms.**
**Ong, from Muar**, decided to help out during the rally after being inspired by his friend that did the same during the Bersih 3.0 rally held back in April 2012.
4. Isaiah Jacob
Amongst a crowd of armchair activists, **Isaiah Jacob** braced the magnanimous crowd yesterday and joined the Bersih 4 rally.
When asked on what drew him to **attend all three Bersih rallies** consequently with this being his fourth, he said that **corruption in the country is the most worrying issue** for him, as reported by Malaysiakini.
While the thoughtful volunteers present at the rally were helping out, kind Malaysians who weren't able to go, contributed in their own ways

Another rallygoer Tan Kian Shing, when speaking to SAYS last night, said that he encountered a **kind- hearted taxi driver** that offered to **waive the taxi fare upon finding out that Tan is heading to the Bersih 4 rally.**
Tan paid anyways and asked the uncle, who was very **enthusiastic about joining the rally** later in the day, to come over as soon as he can for the rally.

BONUS: Helpful police officers played a big role in the rally
Police officers are usually mocked in Malaysia for their uncouth personality.
But in a turn of events, Malaysians from all walks of life have been **commending the officers in charge during the rally for their polite and friendly approach.**
